Solved Backup Software suggestions other than ACRONIS


Macrium Reflect works from within Windows, but you do have to register. I normally use Mini Tool Partition Manager 10 free, minimum bother downloading, but some things such as cloning Windows to another disk require a restart.

Look no further than Macrium Reflect. The free version is fine for most people. I regard Acronis products as poorly engineered and supported.

Another advantage of Macrium Reflect is that you can omit some partitions (like the OEM backup/restore partition in a laptop) if you cannot exactly fit the disk on the target. Acronis allows to omit some folders before cloning, but I never managed to make that work.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

Discovered I had a license, 2 in fact, for MR.
Installed it on my desktop, set it up, backed up the OS and Files drives separately, made a rescue USB, and used the USB to restore the OS backup.

Anxious to see how it works going forward - thanks for the suggestion all.

I'm also a Macrium reflect user, and about 2 weeks ago they were running a special and I purchased the 4 pack for my home setup. So, now a paid Macrium user. It's a great application.

I'm also a Macrium reflect user, and about 2 weeks ago they were running a special and I purchased the 4 pack for my home setup. So, now a paid Macrium user. It's a great application.

Well, Acronis may be a monster installing it in live Windows, but if you only use the boot ISO and do offline disk imaging, Acronis WinPE version is still the best in terms of speed and compression ratio. And it never let me down in more than 15 years of using it. It's still my #1 disk imaging app since I only use its WinPE version for offline disk imaging. The other two on my list is Terabyte Image for Windows and Active DiskImage. R-Drive DiskImage and Drive Snapshot is not bad either. All these have superb reliability for me over years.

Well I tested terabyte the other day and it was marginally faster than Macrium Reflect.

If you only do offline disk imaging (rather pointless these days), then you could use ffu built into Windows (newish feature) and thT is really fast.

Hi there
For disk imaging (I assume "cloning") - easiest by far and it's been around for ever -- doesn't need any "pre partitioning" either -- simply any Linux distro and run dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=2048M status=progress where /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are the source and target disks.

Offline Disk imaging IMO isn't pointless as imaging a "running" OS can cause all sorts of problems - especially if its got users accessing "distributed databases". You get away with it in Windows as that's essentially a "Single user system" and the OS partition can be "locked" while the image is being taken - but I wouldn't risk it on a Server for instance. With these systems logs / checkpoints etc are usually taken every so often while the OS is running and if a restore needs to be done it's restored from the last restore plus a replay of the logs.

For normal Windows backups etc Macrium is fine - and particularly viBoot is a great feature too.

Cheers
jimbo

Cloning is not pointless. I am a computer technician and among others I upgrade old computers and laptops. In the majority of cases just replacing the mechanical hard disk with an SSD makes a huge difference. In order for the customer to use the computer as fast as possible without any difficulty I always try to clone the old disk first, rather than do a clean installation of Windows and start from scratch. I mostly use Acronis Rescue Disc for that or Macrium Reflect running from Strelec (a variety of WinPE). The clone usually takes less than an hour and the customer can seamlessly benefit from the faster SSD speed without the inconvenience of a new installation.

For online imaging of such systems you'd need Macrium Reflect Server Plus edition.

Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

Sorry "Easiest by far" is just not true. I know you are a Linux expert but most of us would not even know how to begin to clone using Linux, and why would we when there are loads of Windows tools to do the job. If you want a simple command line solution - check out FFU.

File & Folder backups is a Premium feature. It's not enabled in Reflect Free, but if you try to use it in your Reflect Free then it will offer you a 30 day trial of the Premium features. If you want to keep using them after the trial ends then purchase Macrium, if you don't then your Reflect will revert to the Free edition. The Free edition will be able to restore any backups you made using Premium features, just won't be able to make any new File & Folder backups.

It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.
